I am much more afraid of my good deeds that please me than of my bad deeds that repel me.

What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.

Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.

For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. Not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are responsible for what we do with those memories

I love poetry, read it a lot, but make no claim to being able to write it.

I think film likes me better than the theatre does for some reason.

I have found that the more I teach those who want to learn, the more I learn.

We all have to die a bit every now and then and usually it's so gradual that we end up more alive than ever. Infinitely old and infinitely alive.

I love a challenge, and I think it's when people least expect you to do something that you often do your best.
